That winter the humid Pacific climate had
seemed to CONCEAL ON the Oregon coast, and
over grass which had been scarcely pow
dered from sight for years, the snow now
stood three feet deep Great drifts bodied

AMI singing crystals of snow still flew in
the air
The dim night landscape swept away in
grandeur; hills massing on hills. their
density of pine verdure only suggested by
contrast with the snow. In summer day
light the lone mans clearing, his smaller
patch of cultivation, his spring of living
water, and his path threading towards river
landing and post-office, might also have
been seen. But all these things were now
~obliterated, and the cabin Itself, sHouldsE-
ing against the hill, seemed losing its ia
miliar lines under the ceaseless erasure of
the snow 1t was indeed mere pen of
logs, with q chimney butt OF rock from the
nearest canyon. The lone man in building
had wisely chinked it tight with mud and
moss, and as he had no window and pun
-chson door, he could keep out the frost with
sufficient fuel A little mountain OF stump
roots and logs lay besid his hearth, and an
immense coal, which mad been 4 section of
tree, made rosy his silent den. His couch,
made OF poles, had been drawn across the
-earthen floor and placed directly in front of
the fire. 1t was cushioned with skins and
he had over him the remnants of the best

guor lie was young built with sound
white muscles, a true love Of wholesome
outdoor life, and certliu practical grasp
and acceptance OF existing facts; these
things favored him in his fight with

Marrow Escape.

MARROW Escape.
At about half past nine O'clock on Mon.
day evening the fast freight on the Rock
Island, aud an extra on the G, B. 4 @. road,
came together at the crossing on Webster
street, with the result Of smashing two
freight cars Of the Rock Island and the Q
engine, Old Dolly. Into smithereens.
There were two trains on the Rock Island
track and when the first one pulled out and
crossed the crossing, Gus. Spinck, the
engineer of the @ train, who had just
taken water, supposing that the crossing
was clear. paid no attention to 1t, and forged
ahead at a good rate of speed. When he
had proceeded 30 far that the momentum
attained could not be checked, he saw the
headlight of the Rock Island freight cars
on the track, and moment later crashed
into Its fifth Car. As soon as his engine
struck 1t parted from the tender and rolled
down the embankment, while the car
struck and slid over the top of II, and
telescoped the cab. Gus. had very
narrow escape from death. for had the
tender followed the engine he would now
be in spirit land. Goods and apples, the
freight of the two smashed cars, were
scattered around in great confusion, the
tracks were bent and broken and traffic was
retarded for several hours. 1t was, in fact,
not until noon, that the wreck was cleared
away.
The Rock Island folks blame the G.,
ana the @ people blame the Rock Island.
Twas ever thus.

Its use will dispense with coal for melting
